H.R. No. 164
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Benjamin Mauro of Boy Scouts of America Troop No.
399 in Austin has attained the rank of Eagle Scout, and this
accomplishment truly merits special recognition; and
WHEREAS, Receiving the Eagle Scout badge is a significant
honor, bestowed on only a small fraction of those who enter the
scouting movement; in the course of meeting the rank's demanding
criteria, Mr. Mauro earned the requisite 21 merit badges and
successfully completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his
community; he built and installed more than 300 feet of limestone
planters at Casis Elementary School and planted and labeled a
variety of Texas native species; and
WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has demonstrated outstanding
leadership ability throughout his scouting career, winning the
respect and admiration of his fellow scouts as he worked toward the
highest rank that scouting offers; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Mauro's dedication to excellence and his
perseverance in the pursuit of his goals have proven him worthy to
stand among scouting's elite, and he may indeed reflect with pride
on a job well done; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Benjamin
Mauro on attaining the rank of Eagle Scout and extend to him sincere
best wishes for continued success and happiness; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Mauro as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
Howard of Travis
